  • Publication number: 20150145260
    Abstract: An induction generator is disclosed. When a magnetic field of a magnet acts upon a magnetic permeability material of non magnetism, the magnetic permeability material is magnetized to produce opposite poles, causing the magnetic permeability material and the magnet to attract each other and to generate a magnetic attractive force. A rotor is provided for movement relative to the magnetic permeability material subject to the effect of magnetic attraction. The rotor is formed of multiple magnets. Each magnet has opposing N pole and S pole. Coil windings are arranged around the rotor in a non-coaxial relationship and spaced from one another. The coil windings are mounted on the perimeter of a positioning member. An instantaneous current is obtained subject to the coil winding moving direction and the direction of magnetic field of the rotor. Each coil winding has a current input lead wire and a current output lead wire respectively disposed reversed to the direction of the instantaneous current.

  • Publication number: 20150130320
    Abstract: A coil fastening part in a stator of the present invention can be turned about its axis of rotation in a gap between an end face of a tooth and an inner circumferential surface of a unit coil and has a noncircular shape cross-section vertical to its axis of rotation. The noncircular shape cross-section of the coil fastening part has a first dimension which is represented by a first line segment which intersects its axis of rotation and a second dimension which is represented by a second line segment which intersects its axis of rotation, is different from the first line segment, and is larger than the first dimension. The coil fastening part is arranged in the gap in a state where the second line segment is aligned with the height direction of the gap and pushes against both the end face and the inner circumferential surface to thereby fasten the unit coil to a tooth.
